Osbyholm Castle, situated in Hörby Municipality, Scania, Sweden, was constructed during the first half of the 17th century. It was likely built during the time the estate was owned by Lene Ramel, daughter of Danish royal councilor Henrik Ramel, who served as country commissioner of Scania. The estate was later inherited by Ove Ramel.
Following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Scania became a possession of the Swedish Crown. Osbyholm Castle was subsequently sold to Olof Nilsson Engelholm from Malmö. In 1750, an extensive restoration of the castle was made. In 1853, a new central part was built, which featured a third floor with a flat, balustrade-edged roof.
In 1931, Baroness Anna Trolle had the castle rebuilt according to drawings by the architect Leon Nilsson.
